This Sunday, January 20 through Monday, January 21 is a special event that is occurring in the night sky. It will be a Super Full Blood Wolf Moon. A Super moon happens when the moon is closest to Earth.  A Blood Moon occurs when the moon, earth, and sun are aligned, and the moon passes into earth’s shadow at the time of a total eclipse, it will turn a deep red, creating a blood moon. The first full moon of the year is known as the wolf moon.

The energies of a full moon are pretty strong to begin with. But with the addition of a total lunar eclipse you then have an energetic event that will benefit you if you to take advantage of it. Reaffirm your Intentions and acknowledge, strengthen and honor your alignment to Spirit. The extraordinary energy of this lunar event can affect all three facets of your being on this earth plane – Mind, Body, and Soul. Below are some symptoms you may feel:

Mental & Emotional Level

The feminine energy of a full moon guides you toward the shadowy depths within your heart and mind. It reflects and brings up those negative thoughts, ideas, and emotions that have been hiding in the deepest, darkest places. It causes you to become acutely aware of the error thinking and overwhelming feelings of fear and uncertainty that have been holding you back from fully committing to your Intention for 2019. During this time, you can feel more sensitive, anxious and withdrawn. This is due to the heightened emotions that you are experiencing. At this same time, the moon will be closer to the earth providing greater exposure to the therapeutic and healing energy found in the rays of the super moon. This Lunar energy will give you the guidance and support to sort through what has come up for you and help you to release those things which no longer serve you. It will clear the way for a rebirth, renewal and re-commitment to all you intend for 2019.

Physical Level

The heightened emotions, sensitivity, and anxiety you may experience can leave you feeling drained and lethargic. It may interrupt your sleep pattern, causing irritability and tiredness. This happens when you are not aware of how the moon is affecting you. Instead, of fighting or trying to ignore what is coming up for you during the Lunar Eclipse. Be open, receptive and responsive to how Spirit is guiding to reveal your Authentic Self.

Spiritual Level

During this Super Full Blood Wolf Moon, you are being nudged toward releasing the control that you ego has asserted, so as to allow the Authentic Self participate fully in your Spiritual Unfoldment. The Ego often causes a misalignment between your thoughts, words, and actions and your Intention. This can leave you feeling stagnant, off balance and separated from the Divine energy of the Universe. This feeling of disconnection can cause you to forget your alignment to Spirit. However, this energy of the Full moon is here as an example of your connection and oneness to the universe. It is a reminder that the universal source of knowledge, wisdom, love, health, and abundance is always flowing, and you have the ability to tap into it at any time. You are always in alignment with Spirit.

It reminds me of the following quote:

“Eclipses are really a guiding hand from the Universe and reveal to us the next chapter of growth that is getting ready to unfold for us.”

-Tanaaz

As your Spiritual Chiropractor, I have a few adjustments to suggest. These adjustments that will aid you in recommitting to your Intention and Acknowledging, Strengthening and Honoring your alignment with Spirit.

First Adjustment

Take time to meditate. In this time of meditation and Intentional stillness, you will be able to focus on what Spirit is revealing to you and how to release it. Get rid of the old worn out negative thoughts and belief and embrace the transformation and change. This will provide mental and emotional clarity needed to acknowledge your alignment with Spirit.

Second Adjustment.

Become Active. Exercise, do yoga, take a walk, run, stretch, have sex. This will increase the oxygen and blood flow in your body. It will remove the feeling of stagnation and will encourage the cycle of sleep and rest that will bring balance back to your body. Becoming active will rejuvenate your body and strengthen your alignment with Spirit.

Third Adjustment.

Practice Self Care. Take time out to thank your body for all it does for you. Thank each and every intelligent cell for doing its perfect work and for housing your beautiful soul. Be grateful for all the lessons you have learned, the things you have had, and the experiences you have shared. And show appreciation for your Authentic Self. This State of Gratitude is the best way to honor your alignment with Spirit. The energy of this Super Full Blood Wolf Moon is expected to last until August so make those adjustments, reaffirm your Intention for 2019 and see how Awesome this year will be.

Today’s Affirmation is:

“I am in alignment with my Intention for 2019.”

Last week I took a flight to New York City to visit my family to celebrate my Mother’s birthday. I always enjoy myself whenever I go home to visit. My goal for this trip was to recharge my batteries with the Love of my immediate family.

In the lead up to my trip, I have had a very busy week. I traveled to Augusta and Savannah during the first part of the week for work. I had several projects ramping up and one big one winding down. The project that is winding down is located at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. I went to the airport on Monday morning to check out the project and saw excessively long lines at the security checkpoints. I was taken a back because it wasn’t a holiday. Then, I realized that it was due to the government shutdown. I noted that I would need to leave home in plenty of time to make it through the security checkpoint for my flight later in the week.

When it was time to pack for my trip, I remembered what I saw at the airport earlier in the week and decided to change how I was packing for my trip. I normally check my bag. I do not like carrying too many things through the airport nor do I like dealing with a lot of bags on the plane. But I thought better of it for this trip. I was not sure how much of the airport’s services would be affected and thought better of checking my bag. So, I sat down and took some time to think about what I would pack to make sure I had everything that I needed but that my bags would not be to heavy or cumbersome for me to carry. This made me realize, that although my goal was to enjoy my family, I had certain ideas or expectations about how that would happen.

This was a wonderful exercise because it was a reminder for me about the difference between expectancy and expectation. When you set an expectation, you marry yourself to a particular outcome. In doing so you often set yourselves up for frustration and disappointment. Expectations can sometime lead to tunnel vision. You only see what you have allowed yourself to see. Then when the unexpected happens you are less flexible, less open to change, and sometimes unable to control your response to various situations.

When you set expectations, you are not living in the Now Moment. Expectations force you to anticipate what may happen in the future. A future that you could not possibly predict. You end up basing your predictions about the future on events and circumstances that happened in the past. Who you were in the past is not who you are now, and most definitely won’t be who you are in the future. You are an ever-evolving and ever-expanding being. So, what may have been true for the person you were, may not be true for the person you are now.

When you set expectations, you set limits for your abundant life. You literally put a box around the experiences you may have. You are so busy looking for your expectations that you don’t make time to for the new opportunity that the universe has offered you. You are so disappointed about your expectations not being met that you can’t be happy or grateful for the new experiences that you are having. You are so blinded with frustration for not getting what you think you deserve that you can’t see as it says in Ephesian 3:20, “Spirit has done exceeding abundantly above all that you ask or think.”

Instead of setting expectations, have any expectancy of great things happening in alignment with your intentions for 2019. Expectancy allows you to see things a new. It helps you to have a different perspective, one that is open and receptive to the newness and expansion of life that happens in every present moment.

Expectancy is living in a state of Gratitude. It allows you to be appreciative for all that is, as it is. Living with Gratitude means you acknowledge that all is in accordance with your highest and best good.

Expectancy allows you to live in the now and follow the advise given in Matthew 6:34, “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.”

Just this minor shift in how I saw my trip made a big difference in the way I packed. I decided to throw out all expectations for what would happen on this trip and instead created an expectancy of all good. Knowing that whatever my family planned and whatever we did or did not do would be just what we all needed and would be in Divine Order. It allowed me to be more efficient, to pack lighter and to be even more excited about my trip.

There was another by-product of this shift to expectancy instead of expectation. There was no line when I got to the security checkpoint and was able to sail through security, get to my gate early and relax until it was time to get on my flight. It reminds me of the following quote:

“When you release expectations, you are free to enjoy the things for what they are instead of what you think they should be.”

Mandy Hale

Remember expectations create limitations for your experiences. Expectancy makes room for the limitless possibilities of love, kindness, compassion and abundance. That is what is waiting for you in every now moment.

Today’s Affirmation is:

“I See positive opportunity in each and every present and perfect moment.”

Happy New Year!! We have made it to the beginning of another year – 2019.  Now is the time that many people are setting goals and making resolutions. Here is some information that I found about New Year Resolutions:

According to an article online from k-international “making resolutions is a tradition that dates back to the ancient Babylonians, possibly as much as 4,000 years ago. The ancient Babylonians celebrated the New Year on the first new moon after the spring equinox. They called it Akitu, and it was a major festival that lasted 11 days. During the festival, the Babylonians made New Year’s resolutions to keep themselves in good standing with the gods.
The spread of “Resolution Writing’ can be credited to the worldwide Protestant movement. A 1951 study by sociologist Isidor Thorner found that the practice of making New Year’s resolutions was more common in countries with a strong Protestant influence…Protestant values of ‘life-long emotional discipline as well as an attempt to live up to rigorous standards’ have influenced the spread of New Years Resolutions among Protestant nations…Over time, as Protestant cultures became more secular, this tradition took on a more jovial tone, and eventually lost its religious connection.”

Although we have had 4,000 years of practice with writing resolutions, we have have not done such a great job at keeping them. A recent Forbes online article sited that, “research shows that most of us are doomed to fail at our pledges, especially as time goes on: while about three-quarters of people stick to their New Year’s resolutions during the first week of January, that figure drops to under half by June. ”

The number one reason for failed resolutions? Lack of a clear goal and an action plan. I believe that is because we are not clear about our intention. There is a distinct difference between a goal and an intention. A goal is an external result that we wish to accomplish. Intention on the other hand is an internal experience.
In his book the Power of Intention Wayne Dyer defines intention this way: “Intention is not something you do, but rather a force that exists in the universe as an invisible field of energy.”

In other words, when you set your intention you are declaring your individuated expression of that Divine Energy, your Authentic Self, the Truth of who you really are. It is not what you have or don’t have. It’s not what you do or don’t do. It isn’t even what you believe or don’t believe. It is how you choose to BE in this world. Intention as a state of being, is you living in alignment with the frequency and vibration of that Divine Energy.

So I Declare 2019 as the year of INTENTIONAL LIVING. That means having an awareness about how you choose to show up, what you choose to say, how you choose to be, and the goals you choose to pursue as it relates to the intention that you have set. Make sure that your choices are in alignment with your Authentic Self. Here are four suggestions that jump start you on your way to Intentional Living:

1. Be Faithful to your Intention

In order to do that you must know your intention. That means taking time to get still so that you can discern what the Universe has for you, how Spirit may be guiding you, and what is resonating with your frequency and vibration. Then you will have the clarity and focus to declare your intention. Once you do that then you can use faith as a catalyst to acknowledge those divine ideas, desires, and goals that are in alignment with your intention. Put an action plan in place to move towards accomplishing you goals and finally see yourself manifesting those desires that are for your highest and best good.

2. Live in the now

Remember Intention is not based on what you did or did not do. What you have or do not have. What you need or don’t need. All of those things are based on fixed point in the past which no longer exists, or some time in the future that has not yet happened. All we have is this NOW moment. How are you showing up NOW? How are you being NOW? Is your current state of being in alignment with your intention? Live in each present moment as your Authentic Self, and you will build momentum toward achieving your goals and so much more.

3. Be of service

Deepak Chopra puts it wonderfully when he says: “The universe operates through dynamic exchange . . . giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of Divine Energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which we intend, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.” Participate fully in the Law of Giving and Receiving and you will notice a shift in your frequency and vibration that will positively affect the accomplishment of your goals and the manifestation of that which is for your highest and greatest good.

4. Live in a constant state of gratitude

Gratitude is the ultimate frequency and vibration of Universe. Gratitude is being thankful for the love, compassion, kindness, health, and prosperity that is the abundance of the Universe. Gratitude is acknowledging, strengthening, and honoring your alignment with the Divine field of energy or Intention of the Universe. Take time to reflect on all things you have to be grateful for.

Today’s Affirmation is:

I Intend to BE that which is for my highest and greatest good.
